| Hi,

| # TAG: forwarded_for on|off
| # If set, Squid will include your system's IP address or name

| #
| # X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3

I figured that would be the case. But once I get into the source,
I'm more inclined to make it so the headers don't need to be in that
list for the anonymize_headers directive. If it currently works by
setting a bit for each entry, I'll need to make something where it
can keep a dynamically growing list. I might also want to use regular
expressions such as:

    anonymize_headers deny ^x-.*$
